# media.artwork

The cover art of something people play, read or watch: an album, a book, a film poster. Taller than it is wide

Component: [`<Media>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/media.md) · Renders: `<img>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Media intent="media.artwork" src={post.coverUrl} alt="What the image shows" />
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| The cover art of something people play, read or watch: an album, a book, a film poster. Taller than it is wide | `media.artwork` (this page) |
| An image that illustrates an article | [`media.image`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/media/image.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

- Built from: [`frame.cover`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#frame-cover)

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How media.artwork resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`frame.cover`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#frame-cover) — Wide rounded rectangle; centres the fallback text when there is no image

  ```
  flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center
  overflow-hidden rounded-lg bg-muted object-cover text-sm
  text-muted-foreground
  ```

- `media.artwork` (this page) — The cover art of something people play, read or watch: an album, a book, a film poster. Taller than it is wide

  ```
  aspect-[3/4]
  ```

Final classes

```
flex w-full items-center justify-center overflow-hidden
rounded-lg bg-muted object-cover text-sm text-muted-foreground
aspect-[3/4]
